Technical Blog - Eling Emails

1   At the secret meeting at The Windsor pub in Brum on 29th June, 2016 I bemoaned the way Jan Britton's bent paid service were playing fast and loose with the legal provisions of the Freedom of Information Act. Eling promised to look into it. I duly wrote to his on 19th July, 2017 copying in "Chief Executive " Jan Britton. Here it is with his disingenuous reply (noting that he has made sure that even now, the Hackett story remains hidden):

Subject: Freedom of Information Requests
To: Steve Eling <steve_eling@sandwell.gov.uk>
Cc: Jan Britton <jan_britton@sandwell.gov.uk>


Dear Cllr Eling,

THIS IS NOT A PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL COMMUNICATION

Anyone who has read The Skidder (which, incidentally, is still blocked to SMBC staff) will know about the difficulties Jan Britton's staff have put in my way in respect of FOI replies - from delays to downright lying in replies (eg Dave Willetts) .There is no public evidence that Britton ever attempted to rectify the various issues under the last regime. I don't need to remind someone as experienced as yourself that the FOI provisions are legal requirements and Britton has a duty to ensure that the law is complied with here.

One problem I have faced is SMBC simply failing to acknowledge requests from me and then, months down the line, claiming they have not been received. I am concerned that this ploy is being attempted again.

On 4th June, 2016 I submitted two FOI requests but have had no responses whatsoever - not even the pro-forma replies. Over the last weekend I requested internal reviews in respect of both Requests and, to date, have had no acknowledgement of them either. Can you please ask someone to look into this please? I hope you will also take the chance to remind Britton, if he is staying on with SMBC, of his duties in regard to Freedom of Information and under his highly-paid contract of employment.

The two requests from 4TH JUNE are below:

Julian Saunders

Request One:

Vincent Alexandervich <thesandwellskidder@gmail.com>

Jun 4
to contact, Simon
Please state:

(a) the number of fixed penalty notices served by SMBC upon Cllr Simon Hackett since he became a Sandwell Councillor;

(b) please supply copies of any fixed penalty notices served upon Cllr Hackett (we are content for you to redact his address but nothing else);

(c) please state whether Cllr Hackett or person/persons on his behalf paid each and every fixed penalty notice served with details. In the event that any fixed penalty notice(s) was or were cancelled please disclose all notes, memoranda, minutes, or other documentation of whatsoever kind relating to the decision to cancel said notice or notices.

Julian Saunders

Request Two:

Vincent Alexandervich <thesandwellskidder@gmail.com>

Jun 4
to contact
In the absence of a response to my correspondence on this subject - notably from your Mr John Satchwell and Jan Britton - herewith a formal FOI request:

Please provide all written notes, minutes, memoranda and documents of any kind whatsoever relating to the sale of four SMBC-owned shipping containers formerly situated at the Jubilee Park Depot.

State precisely how and when the sale proceeds were received by SMBC and from whom.

Please disclose all tenders, adverts for sale, invitations to treat and any other material pre-sale documentation issued by SMBC in respect of the sale of the this property.

If you are able to state how and why these containers also came to be offered for sale (along with other SMBC property) by one Tom Arnold, do so.

Julian Saunders

2   As I have said repeatedly, Eling told me at the pub meeting that I need not worry about the ice rink as the deal was to be pulled (Eling was up to his neck in the transaction initially.) This was, of course, disclosure by Eling of highly confidential information as the story was not released to the public until 27th July, 2016 (see Express and Star). Here is an email exchange from 1st August, 2016 after the public announcement my email being signed "Jules":

3   This is not an Eling email but helps to clarify the time line. On 8th August, 2016 I wrote formally to Marshall about "Rog's train". Eling and Marshall had promised new "openness" at the pub meeting and that Eling was going to "drain the swamp" created during Britton's stewardship of the Council (although as it transpired of course, that was a lie and "openness only related to their enemies"):

Dear Cllr Marshall,

I was amazed to hear about the diesel locomotive Sandwell owns and have blogged about it.

In the alleged new spirit of openness I wonder whether you wish to answer the questions raised at the bottom of the post rather than have me evoke the FOI procedure? There is virtually nothing about any of this in the public domain and a full statement would be helpful.


Marshall replied with a jovial salutation and signed the message "Richard":

This is a heads up of confidential information that Scarrott is for the chop (which duly came to pass - see below). If you look at the times you will also see that Eling and Marshall are clearly discussing the WhatsApp feed. Here are the contemporaneous messages on WhatsApp:

7   On 14/10/16 I wrote to Cllr Eling asking whether Cllr Hackett would be resigning from the Cabinet in view of revelations about his conduct but he did not reply.

To: thesandwellskidder@gmail.com


Dear Julian

Thank you for your recent letter. I didn't want to come back to you straight away because I decided to rattle the cage first to see what reaction I got. I'm also responding from my personal e-mail, so no one at the Council has access to it.

I would like to clear the air about the college and the Public and put the record straight once and for all. From what I have seen and heard I can certainly understand your annoyance about what happened and the way that some people behaved.

The FOI that you have recently submitted will be answered, but I don't know how much clarity there will be over how spoke to who. Let's see what they come back with. I will be pleased to discuss.

You will probably know that I have had to tackle quite a lot over the last few months and not everyone has been co-operative. In fact there's still more to do which will be resisted by some, but I feel that progress is being made. Some people have gone (albeit at a cost), and a shake up for some is on its way. Further, there have been blanket denials to issues raised, like the suggested coaching and irregularities in the recruitment of a Council Director's son.

I have no doubt that there will be more people reported for wrong doing and called to account before we get past all of the difficulties. Some of this may be uncomfortable, but necessary.

I am interested in your suggestion about the Farley Clock Tower. I was interested to see photographs from the Hidden Spaces project, and as a keen photographer, if only I had the time, would get involved in something like that myself. There's bound to be hundreds of locations across the Black Country that would be of interest. I'm certainly happy to discuss this over some decent beer!

Regards.

Steve

9   On 3rd January, 2017 I sent an email to Eling's formal Council address as it involved a whistleblowing allegation that an address in Hydes Road had been landscaped with stuff purloined from Parks Department. (SMBC said this was not the case.) Eling replied (again disingenuously given what he and Marshall were really up to with the sacking of staff etc):

Dear Julian

Happy new year to Linda and you. 

Whilst I am encouraging an atmosphere of openness, I suspect it will take some time for everyone to feel that they are able to raise matters of concern without the fear of reprisal. I'm hoping that once a number of matters currently in the pipeline are brought to a conclusion, people will feel confident that the Council is changing for the better. 

In any event, I am pleased that you are advising me about matters brought to your attention. That way I can enquire into and ensure that such matters are investigated. That I will do with this case too. 

Best wishes. 

Steve

10  On 6th January, 2017 there was a course of emails between us via the personal account concerning the visit by Darren Cooper to Steelhouse Lane Police Station in Birmingham. In his obsession to "get" Hussain and the Joneses he had become deluded about a photo I put on the blog showing Cooper arriving at the police station in the chauffeur-driven Council limo laid on my Jan Britton. He wrote to me via his personal account confirming what we already knew ie that Cooper and Hussain had tried to stop the  West Midlands Police and any other fraud investigations:

Subject: FOI response
To: thesandwellskidder@gmail.com


Julian

I was interested to read your latest blog, especially in relation to the FOI response you received. What you have been told does appear to be slightly different to what I was told following your publication of the photo a while ago.

For what it's worth, I think the taking of the photo was arranged by Mahboob Hussain. It was then photoshopped to make it just about discernible. The alternative to my view is that by pure chance someone just happened to be passing at the right time with a camera with frosted glass fitted over the lens, took the photo, and knew to immediately send it to Hussain who could arrange for it to be sent to you. As an experienced photographer, I can tell that the photo has been manipulated to achieve that effect.

Of course, by this time, relations between Mahboob Hussain and Darren Cooper were strained because Darren had still not managed to get all of the inquiries stopped, which provides a motive for putting Darren under more pressure.

Anyway, back to the point, having not gone soft on anyone, it would be helpful to see the unsigned FOI response that you received to help me follow up my discreet enquiries. If you can e-mail to this address, no officers of the Council will be aware that I have a copy. 

Look forward to hearing from you.

11   19/01/17 - this is interesting since at the initial pub meeting I made a comment that he would never clean up the Council whilst a certain person remained in post. I used the expression that "there was a turd in the pool". Eling had had a few and thought this hilarious and repeated the comment more than once. Here he is replying to me via his personal email and you will note his final (again disingenuous) comment in an email otherwise dealing with the campaign against Hussain:

Interesting to see your latest article, especially the issue of claimed restrictive covenants on the bogs, that would lower their value.

I understand that there are no covenants that would restrict the value registered in the title held by the Land Registry. Of course, anyone for a small fee can access the documents on line. I have to assume that the details of the registration as reported to me are correct, and that no one is going to claim that there is an error in the title.

Thought that might be helpful. Have to go and fish a turd out of the swimming pool now before I get on with cleaning out the swamp.

13   On 5th February, 2017 Eling contacted me without prompting as he had taken it on himself to make enquiries about the fraudulent deal involving Rouf's house in Florence Road, Smethwick but this also shows that he was going after Frear which is confirmed on the WhatsApp feed. This is also proof that Eling and Marshall were going after Rouf at this stage regarding this fraud before twisting things to attack Cllr Ian Jones instead:

Owing to there being differing accounts about who paid for the Florence Road sub-station to be moved, including the results of internal Council investigations which reported that Western Power had paid, I decided to arrange for Western Power to be written to for them to provide their version of events. Western Power have confirmed that they fully met the cost of moving the sub-station.

Whatever the issues are to investigate further in relation to that piece of land, it appears that the sub-station is not one of them.

I hope that us helpful.

Thanks Steve. It is still slightly relevant in that some potential buyers say its removal was a reason the site wasn't for sale according to SMBC saff and, of course, SMBC provided the new site.

I was onto RM last night. Told Frear had given up Whyley Walk council house and was therefore "intentionally homeless". He went to live with his mother in Hurst Rd, Smethwick & then applied for 55 Hill Top. I am not sure of the rules here but seems worth investigation.

There is certainly more on Frear. Its just getting down to what really happened. 

On the sub-station, the differing versions is why I asked for the Western Power version of events. They would not have paid unless they had a business reason to move it. So, it does tie in to the story that they were upgrading the local supply. 

It is quite common for there to be sub-stations on Council owned land for which they pay rent. So the move to the car park would not appear to be put of the ordinary. I think there is probably juicier evidence on the Rouf deal than the sub-station, which now looks like a blind alley.

Given the situation in Brum, I don't intend to go anywhere near the fallout around their chief executive, and even more so now the six figure payoff news is out. I suspect he will move out of the area to pursue whatever he does next. That's what usually happens in these circumstances. Interestingly, I'm aware of talk that Jan should go to Brum, but he hasn't said anything to me about that, or me to him.

25   07/11/17 It comes to my attention that Eling and Marshall are saying that I made up the WhatsApp feed and so I email them confirming I will sue them for libel if they continue to repeat this lie:

Dear Cllrs Eling and Marshall,

THIS IS NOT A PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL COMMUNICATION

It has come to my attention from more than one source that you two - and particularly Cllr Eling - have been telling persons that the Whatsapp feed etc containing your campaigns against, inter alia, Cllrs Hussain and Ian Jones are fake and made up.

As you are both very well aware this is untrue and it is libellous.

I reserve my position, legally, with regard to the comments you have made to date.

Please be aware, however, that if you repeat these libellous statements then I shall commence legal proceedings against either or both of you without further recourse.

Cllr Marshall may, as a result of his bankruptcy, feel disinhibited and, therefore, able to repeat the libellous statements with abandon. This would be a mistake and he is advised to take legal advice. Whilst he is a man of straw and unable to pay damages he is still susceptible to an application for injunctive relief. Further repition may also amount to the criminal offence of harassment.

You should be well aware from your knowledge of me that I do not make idle threats. Make further libellous statements at your peril.

This communication will form part of my legal claims against you both if that becomes applicable.

26   10/01/18  The second paragraph is the main one of interest here. Eling did not make the email available to me but someone else did. This showed that it was never intended by Eling to make the Wragge Report public (contrary to what SMBC were saying publicly.)

In his evidence yesterday David Willetts stated that between 2009 and 2011 YOU PERSONALLY ordered that land sales should not generally be by auction. Can you tell me where I can find a record of this on the Council website please?

Can you please also let me have a copy of your email of 21st April, 2016 wherein you informed Mahboob that the Wragge Report would never me made public.

Here is the relevant part of that email:



27   19/01/18 Eling had a good relationship with Hussain before he decided to shaft him. He refused to answer this question:

THIS IS NOT A PRIVATE & CONFIDENTIAL COMMUNICATION

Two people have told me tonight Mahboob was Best Man at your wedding. True or false.

I can't lay my hands on the actual email just at the moment but I have blogged about Eling's email where he described WMP as "idiots" when they claimed they didn't know the law about false register of interest entries.
